Henry is a project. African players are hard to qualify (see: Orukpe). He was sent to a Juco that is "friendly" to the university. We will still get 2 to 3 years out of him depending on if he redshirts.
Teddy is in close contact with the coaching staff and is trying desperately to get here. His academic shortcomings are not HCGM's fault.
All this being said, I don't know how we could fit one more player on our team... we are loaded to a point that is mind boggling. If Teddy makes it, he will most likely be paying his own way. Can you imagine a "walk-on" that would start for every other team in the Valley? That's the kind of "problem" we are suffering from. Somebody needs to take away coach's keys to the Learjet for a while, we simply have no more room...
It's a great day to be a Shocker!

I am surprised the NCAA hasn't forced the shockers to play a man down, I mean with all that talent how is it even conceivable that they are even allowed to play 5 on 5? They return 13 pts from last years team and if all of thier incoming players adapt real quick they might be competitive. I just love the Marshall model, recruit copious amounts of jucos each year so I can get a pay raise. Oh, and about that jet, congrats on perfecting the art of expanding your pipeline, that should be really helpful in SEC recruiting next summer. Enjoy your 1.4 million dollar coach, he really enjoys you.
